Saturday June 8, 2013 was the day for the Hi iQ 2013 Scion iQ Owners Meet and Greet. The event was held at the headquarters of FIVE:AD in Huntington Beach, CA. I wish the personally than Troy Sumitomo the owner of FIVE:AD / Five Axis and Matt Teske the marketing and events genius at FIVE:AD. The original venue had to be changed and they stepped up to provide an excellent place to hold the event and did some awesome promotion to help make the event the success that it was.

The event was an informal gathering of Scion iQ owners so they could meet face to face and spend some time enjoying each other's rides. FIVE:AD provided us a great location and even had lunch catered in from La Choza Mexican Restaurant. The owners were all very nice people and the lunch was delicious. This thread contains photos of the event.

A special thank you to all the vendors who participated in the event either by attending with a booth or donating prizes to the charity raffle. There was more than $2000 in donated prizes. A little over $800 was raised for the Valley Restart Shelter in Hemet, CA. iQ owners may have small cars but they have huge hearts!

The vendors included:

FIVE:AD
Beat-Sonic USA
DC Sports
Primo Powder Coating
OEM Audio Plus
WAK Shop
Killerwaxx
PowerBass USA
Varad Lighting
Amsoil
Scion Corp
Toyota LA Regional

We had sixteen iQ's come to the meet along with their owners, family and friends. It was such an enjoyable afternoon. We raised a bunch of money for charity, had a delicious lunch, got to chill with other iQ owners and win a ton of cool prizes.

We will be starting the planning for Hi iQ 2014 Scion iQ Owners Meet and Greet soon. Troy has offered the FIVE:AD location for us to use again. I'm looking forward to it already!

That looks a fantastic day Taz. Some really nicely turned out iQs as well.

I like the colour scheme of Jo's mat red and black looks good. Never seen a RC iQ either.

Thank you for sharing and showing us what we are missing.
